    Hi Lorz,

    I hope that you got good news today when you saw your surgeon and that you are not carrying the BRCA gene.

    What type and grade of breast cancer do you have that it doesn't respond to chemo, radiotherapy or  hormone treatment?

    Kind regards,

    Hi Lorz,

    I am delighted to hear that you are not carrying the gene and that you do not have cancer in your right breast. Treatments have improved a lot in the last 9 years and they are more aware of problems that can arise with treatment when you also have heart problems. I am glad to hear that they are going to test your heart before they operate. I hope that you can get by with only having radiotherapy and not have to resort to chemo.

    Am I right in thinking that you only need to have a lumpectomy for your left breast? This sounds much better than you originally thought and I'm sure that you are happy that you won't be losing your breasts.

    I hope that your heart tests turn out well and that you can go ahead with treatment when planned.

    Please keep us in the loop. As you know, we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
